Package: libc6 Version: 2.17-92 Severity: normal Scripts tend to use LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 instead of LC_ALL=C for UTF-8 support and to behave in a locale-independent manner. However $LANGUAGE is still taken into account by glibc:
xvii% LANGUAGE=fr_FR LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 cp cp: opérande de fichier manquant Saisissez « cp --help » pour plus d'informations. xvii% LANGUAGE=fr_FR LC_ALL=C cp cp: missing file operand Try 'cp --help' for more information. Both should have output in English. Glibc should apply the same rules with C.UTF-8 as with C locales. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6:amd64 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:4.8.1-8 libc6:amd64 recommends no packages.
